Eva was fighting a losing battle with Helene and Alyssa ganging up on her. She should have been glad they weren't fighting anymore, but boy were they a force to be reckoned with when they teamed up. Of course, it was all in good fun, but she didn't understand the need to be so out there. She wasn't really comfortable with revealing outfits, if her freshman year taught her anything, it was best to stay as covered up as possible, or else you'd get uninvited attention. But her concerns fell on deaf ears, as Helene was set, even going through her phone trying to get some ideas. Nearly everything she suggested wanted to make Eva pull her hair out: low cut, super tight, sleek...none of that was to her taste at all! After pushing away Helene's phone, exasperated at her more recent suggestion, she noticed Gigi staring intently at something. The fact that Gigi had given her attention to anything was usually a surprise, and she she followed her line of sight to see a bunch of guys completely still, throwing looks at one another. Except, those guys included Terrance, Alexander, and Jacob. Were they going to fight? She suddenly noticed how quiet it was, realizing that both Helene and Alyssa were also watching the group. They weren't the only ones watching, though; a lot of people were getting somewhat antsy.

To Eva's surprise, Helene let out a huff, taking a few steps forward, as if to break it up. However, Gigi grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks. "[color=orangered]Nothing's going to happen,[/color]" She said with an utmost certainty. "[color=orangered]We don't need to get involved.[/color]"

Helene scoffed, though she relented as Gigi released her. As much as Eva wanted to ask how she knew, she admitted that they looked really threatening. She looked around for Arthur, finding him with Ricardo Munez. She didn't know they knew one another, but the tension between them was so thick it was obvious to whoever looked their way.

"[color=lightsalmon]I'm pretty sure he's killed a guy,[/color]" Helene said rather nonchalantly, having noticed Arthur and Ricardo as well.

"[color=pink]That's not very nice to say,[/color]" Eva scolded her, frowning. 

Helene could only shrug in response, clearly unhappy with whatever was going on. Eva wasn't sure she understood, but Helene wasn't offering any explanation, either. Was there something else Helene and Gigi knew that she didn't? Gigi herself was rather concentrated on Ricardo, her eyes narrowing as he looked their way. What was so bad about him? Granted, she didn't know him too well, only remembering that he was pretty popular himself. She got paired up with him once last year for a project, but their conversations were cordial. As Ricardo waved, Eva did as well, returning the gesture with a small smile. He walked off, and it was like deflating a balloon, a majority of the tension evaporating as he left.

"[color=orange]That's a really scary look...[/color]" Alyssa mumbled, physically shuddering.

"[color=pink]What look?[/color]" She asked, looking at Arthur, but apparently missing his previous expression, though she gave him a wave as well.

"[color=orange]Remind me to never piss Arthur off if I can help it. If looks could kill...[/color]"

"[color=lightsalmon]Then Jacob Petrone would've died this morning with the way you glared at him,[/color]" Helene smirked, jabbing Alyssa.

Gigi let out an uncharacteristic huff, surprising the other three girls. "[color=orangered]I don't like it,[/color]" She muttered, actually sounding rather annoyed. "[color=orangered]Why was he looking this way?[/color]"

It was probably meant to be a rhetorical question, but Alyssa decided to answer anyway. "[color=orange]You've got a bunch of cute girls hanging out, why [i]wouldn't[/i] he look over here?[/color]" She joked.

Helene shrugged, patting Gigi's shoulder. "[color=lightsalmon]It's fine. back to the topic at hand![/color]" She decided to change the subject, winking at Eva, who let out a groan. "[color=lightsalmon]You really should be taking my advice! Sex appeal is like, sixty percent of a girl's appearance![/color]"

As much as Eva wanted to ask what was going on with Ricardo, she figured it was best to handle one problem at a time. Mainly that she wasn't going to the party wearing a bunch of squares stitched together showing way too much advertised as a dress. "[color=pink]It's not that I don't believe you, I just...don't think it's a good way to get his attention,[/color]" Eva said, frowning. "[color=pink]He's not really like other guys, he's more mature, and cool...Like, he doesn't even act his age.[/color]"

"[color=orange]All that is irrelevant,[/color]" Alyssa informed her. "[color=orange]He may have the emotional range of a teaspoon, but he's still a guy.[/color]"

"[color=lightsalmon][i]Thank you![/i] That's what i'm saying![/color]" Helene grinned, flipping her hair off her shoulders. "[color=lightsalmon]And what do guys want?[/color]"

Eva wasn't really sure where this was going, shaking her head in confusion. "[color=pink]Um...they want girls, don't they?[/color]" She asked.

"[color=orange]You sweet, summer child,[/color]" Alyssa patted Eva's head comfortingly. "[color=orange]They want girls for [i]physical relations[/i], if you know what I mean.[/color]"

She did not know what Alyssa meant as her blank expression would tell. "[color=orangered]She means sex,[/color]" Gigi stated rather bluntly.

"[color=pink]WHAT?![/color]" Eva's outburst was a lot louder than intended, but the shock of stating the (obvious) intention of men was too much for her. Sex?! She hadn't even thought that far ahead! Is it still wrong to have it before you get married? Well, things have changed, so it wasn't so bad if it was with a boyfriend or girlfriend. But her and Arthur? Doing that? Was that even possible--of course it was possible but she couldn't even look at him without getting nervous. And to even do that they'd have to get naked! She had never seen a naked guy before! What would she do? Not look? Was it impolite not to look? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that as embarrassing and confusing as it was, maybe it wouldn't be so bad with Arthur. He was a little aloof, but he could be caring, like when he spoke to her earlier today. A passionate kiss as he laid her down on the bed, using their hands to undress one another, and then--Whoa, she needed to stop that thought right there, her imagination was getting the better of her. Shaking her head wildly, she couldn't quite get rid of her pink cheeks, though she tried to compose herself as she spoke again. "[color=pink]It's just--I haven't so much as gotten his attention, how...why would I...?[/color]" She blubbered, her words jumbling in her throat.

Helene chuckled, clearly enjoying Eva's reaction. "[color=lightsalmon]Wow, you must have ran all the way with that thought, hmm? Lucky Arthur,[/color]" She commented cheerfully. "[color=lightsalmon]Listen, Eve, I'm not saying to go on and serve yourself on a platter for him to go and eat you up. What I'm saying is, dressing just a [i]little[/i] sexier than usual is a good way to get his attention, you know?[/color]"

Oh! Sighing in relief, she was much more comfortable with that idea. As much as she didn't want to admit it, Helene did have a point. If it was only today, the first day of their senior year and a good year after she first got her crush on Arthur, that she finally managed to introduce herself, maybe she could use the help. Nodding to Helene, she raised both her arms in defeat. "[color=pink]Okay, you're right. I leave myself in your capable hands.[/color]"

"[color=lightsalmon]Of course! Now, how do you feel about a top and a skirt?[/color]"
